xAI Launches Grok 4.7: Major Gains at Same Price and Speed

xAI (SpaceXAI) officially released Grok 4.7 on September 22, positioning it as its most powerful model for coding and knowledge work. The company claims it runs twice as fast as comparable models at half the price—actual pricing stays level with Grok 4.6 at $2/million input tokens and $6/million output tokens. The notable jump in benchmark scores is the highlight of this release.

Confirmed

• Grok 4.7 is built on a new, larger base model with extended reinforcement learning for multi-step tasks lasting hours; it is better at self-verification and long-context management, and natively understands the Grok Bot system
• CursorBench score reaches 46.3%, surpassing GPT-5.6 Sol's 41.7%; Terminal-Bench leaps from the previous generation's 20.3% to 38%; Harvey legal benchmarks also improved substantially
• Pricing is unchanged from Grok 4.6: $2/million input tokens, $6/million output tokens, which the company says is a fraction of what comparable competitors charge

Not Yet Confirmed

• Third-party commentary from blogger XFreeze claims Grok 4.7 shows a massive leap on multi-hour office tasks (AA Briefcase), surpassing GPT-6 Astra and approaching Fable 5.1—this is personal interpretation; refer to official benchmark tables for exact scores

Why It Matters

• Major benchmark gains at the same price and speed, combined with lower pricing than competitors, position Grok 4.7 to shake up the price-performance landscape for coding and knowledge-work models; the strengthened ability to handle long multi-step tasks with self-verification also targets real needs of agentic office workflows
